HAT-P-6 also named Sterrennacht [10] is a star in the constellation Andromeda, located approximately 895 light years or 274 parsecs away from the Earth. It is an F-type star, implying that it is hotter and more massive than the Sun. The apparent magnitude of the star is +10.54, which means that it can only be visible through the telescope. The absolute magnitude of +3.36 is brighter than the Sun's +4.83, meaning that the star itself is brighter than the Sun. [5] A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at the MMT Observatory turned out negative. [11]
The name Sterrennacht (Starry Night) was selected in the NameExoWorlds held by the IAU after a painting by Van Gogh. [10]
The companion planet HAT-P-6b is a transiting planet discovered on October 15, 2007 by the HATNet Project. The planet's true mass is slightly more than Jupiter at only 5.7%, but the radius is 33% greater, making the planet's density of 0.45 g/cm3. Its large size compared to mass comes from the great amount of heat received from the nearby star that expands the planet's atmosphere, categorizing as " hot Jupiter". The orbital period is 3.852985 days and the distance from its star is 0.05235 AU. [5] The inclination of the orbit with respect to the stellar rotation axis is roughly 166º. [12]
